Alarm monitoring from PhoneWatch provides a far higher level of security than non-monitored alarms. Everyone is familiar with the sound of a ringing alarm. It’s an everyday occurrence that passers-by now just tend to ignore. However, a PhoneWatch alarm is never ignored.

As soon as the alarm activates, a signal is sent to our Receiving Centre. Alarm signals are transmitted either through a landline or over the mobile phone network.

Our alarm monitoring services also include a monitoredsmoke alarm as standard with our Home Safety System, as well as carbon monoxide and water detection also being available.
